Bring Nature in With a Vertical Garden Wall

Vertical Garden Wall

Did you know that being outdoors is beneficial to your mental health? It turns out that being around and seeing plants often has a calming effect on people. In Japan, there’s even a practice called “forest bathing” that’s demonstrably reduced people’s heart rate and blood pressure. 

But, what if there was a way to bring the outdoors indoors? If you think that sounds crazy, think again!

You can do this by planting an indoor vertical garden. Vertical gardens use containers to grow fruits, flowers, and other plants from the ground up.

You can use this technique to grow an indoor vertical garden wall! This way, you can reap the benefits of outdoor life from inside your house. We’ll explain how this works in the guide below. 

How To Grow an Indoor Vertical Garden

The first step in growing a vertical green wall is to decide what plants you want to grow. This step helps you find containers that can hold these plants. 

We recommend using houseplants for your garden. These plants can naturally do well indoors, making them the perfect choice for an indoor garden.

Once you know what plants to grow, you can figure out if you have a room with enough sun exposure for the garden. We’ll discuss this further in the next section.

Find the Right Amount of Sun  

First, decide where to place your garden wall. If your houseplants require more sun, find a room with a window that gets more direct sun throughout the day. If your plants need more indirect sun, you can find another room near a window with less sun. 

What if you live in an area that doesn’t get the amount of sun you need? Another option is to install grow lights. This way, you can ensure your plants get the light you need. 

Vertical Garden Ideas 

Finally, the last step of this process is to design your garden wall. There are several options for this.

One step is to use a classic shelving system. For instance, you can secure or mount shelves to your wall. Then, you can place pots and planters in your garden.

Some people prefer to build their shelving units. Others like to buy decorative shelves designed to hold several planters. 

These shelves may also have a bar to hang baskets from. Another option is to install hanging pot holders. 

These options work excellently for flowers, herbs, and plants with vines. Feel free to hang your plants wherever you want!

Finally, another option is to use stackable planters. These come in several styles, making it easy to build your garden from the ground up!
